WTT: My Masi frame for your Masi frame
I posted this on A Great Vintage in the past day or two, thought I'd mention it here as well. I have a 1982 Masi Gran Criterium, size SMC58, s/n A8216. I'm looking to trade just the frame for a slightly larger Masi GC frame, size 61-63 (as Masi measured and stamped them), built from the late 70s to early 80s.
There's a bit more detail and links to pix on the AGV listing:

I have a 56cm ctt 91 Nishiki prestige. Tange triple butted tubing. It's got a Flite 100 track fork and 1" threadless stem and aheadset. The paint is scratched but no dents and straight. this frame is twitchy as heck and has toe over lap and no eyelets and cant run more than a 25mm tire. So it's basically a track frame with gears, if that's what you like this is it. I'm just tired of it sitting here in my house not being ridden. would trade for an frame in 54 or 56cm or parts I'm not to picky. Pics on request.

Thanks rotharpunc for the interest! The 950 frame is for 26" wheels. The last time I had the 950 built up, I had it as 3x1 "Tringle" drop bar commuter. I have it in a box that is ready to ship out, the dimensions are 6"x28"x39" and the weight is 15.5 pounds. My zip is 92821 if you want to get a quote on the USPS or FedEx website.

Your Super Le Tour interests me. What are you looking for in return?

PedalTraveler,
I don't have a Brooks. The only frames that I have available are a 1976 Fuji Finest, and a mid-eighties(?) Jamis Explorer XR MTB. I don't if either will interest you, so I have attached a couple of photos.
The Fuji has a 21" seat tube, double-butted chrome-moly frame and no braze-ons. The frame was chrome plated and then painted over leaving some chrome exposed. It does have lots of surface rust, and the chrome is pitted. I remember drooling over one back in 1972, when all I could afford was the S-10-S. Anyway, I rescued this one several months ago from a flipper.
The Jamis has an 18" seat tube, but being a MTB, sits a bit larger. The frame is chrome-moly, and the paint is not bad. The right chainstay has some rust due to chain slap I suppose. It has a chainstay mounted rear brake, and a shoulder pad for portaging.
Thanks for the reply.

23" 1985 Schwinn Super Le Tour, catalog lists as Columbus Tenax tubing, its has spent most of its life hanging in a shed waiting to be built, and I haven't had time, so it is time to pass it on. It has some of the usual light nicks and scratches, more photos and details if you are interested.

I have a few frames taking up space:
60cm 1985 Trek 620(blue) - a little rust, plenty of scratches. No dents,dings or bends. Good candidate for a repaint/powdercoat or just build and ride.. original blue rack is included, but it's a little beat up.
60cm Trek 460(orange) - a little rusty, someone spray painted parts of it black, and a stuck stem(will need to be cut out from the inside). Needs repaint/powdercoat
19" Diamondback Ridge Runner II(silver grey) - Part of the seatpost clamp was broken off when I acquired the frame. I had welded back on. Otherwise, it's in good condition with the usual scratches.
Have more to list later as well as pictures

Riding like its 1990
1985 Trek 460 52cm Trek investment lugs
Just stripped it down and cleaned up the frame. Will rebuild shortly for a local who asked about a bike but am willing to trade for something interesting around 59 or 60 ish.

This is a bit of a long shot, but I've got a 61cm (c-t) 1988 Panasonic DX-4000 frame that I'd like to trade for a 53 or possibly a 56. The long shot part is that the other frame also needs to be a 1988 Panasonic DX-4000.
Edit: If you have a similar quality late 80s frame that fits the size requirements, I might be interested.

Speaking of long shots, I've also got a 58cmx58cm Giant Excursion touring frame (complete with fenders and racks) that I'd like to trade for a real giant; something in the 68-72cm range.
I don't have a pic right now, but here's an identical one belonging to wahoonc.

I've never even seen a 72cm frame let alone a 68cm! Post a pic. All I can imagine is two frames welded together as a tall bike!

I have a 25.5" Trek 620. Would trade for the Giant. I know it's not 68cm, but it's there if you want it. Rough shape. I'd want to add something in the deal.
My Panasonic DX2000 is only 66cm, though!
